Would You Like KFC As An In-Flight Meal?

As a "holiday special", Japan Airlines is going to serve KFC to its passengers over the next three months. Is fast food the future of in-flight meals?

Passengers will get two pieces of chicken, bread and coleslaw on selected trips, the LA Times reports. Having eaten KFC reheated in a microwave, I'm not entirely sure this will work well. That said, airline food is rarely inspiring anyway. Do you fancy the thought of eating KFC or Maccas while flying overseas? Share your thoughts in the comments.

In their defense, KFC has a different perception in Japan where it is like a specialty restaurant for special occassions. Apparently you need to pre-order very early for their christmas banquets, and it is most always sold-out.

It won't happen here. KFC is massive in Japan. People think it's popular here, where you often need to wait 30 minutes on Friday/Saturday nights. But a friend went to Japan, and waited in line for 3 hours to get served on several occasions.
